Dear Steve Barclay Jeremy Hunt & Rishi Sunak

Have you ever been told you’re at risk of life-threatening torrential haemorrhage at any moment?

I have, just a few weeks ago

I’m a patient, a mum of 2 and a ‘junior’ doctor orthopaedic surgeon

A thread 🧵

#JuniorDoctorsStrike

I had an operation yesterday and received incredible care, kindness & expertise from people who just don’t get the reward that they deserve. I fully support the #JuniorDoctorsStrikes today. God bless the pure humanity of the #NHS (and it’s oddly comforting tea and toast!) 😌☕️💙

This is about pay restoration after 13 years of below inflation pay rises & pay freezes by successive Tory govts who have destroyed our amazing NHS.

Read this very important thread.
Junior doctors, nurses and ODPs save lives even when it's not a catastrophic event.
Value them.
Treat them with respect.
Pay them properly.

“FY3 and flee” - the plan of many Junior Doctors

Translation? - Finish first 2 years of working as a doctor then leave the NHS to work abroad, with better conditions and far better salary 🇦🇺

We need to retain them, and to do so need to pay them fairly.

#JuniorDoctorsStrikes

Good luck to the striking #JuniorDoctors !

Like all workers across the NHS, they’ve faced YEARS of real terms wage cuts as well as worsening working conditions!

What if tracking wrist movement could help doctors diagnose and treat injuries & bone deformities? MCW scientists published study results demonstrating this approach to change what providers can see in scans of patients’ wrists. #ProjectWonder

Rishi Sunak needs to get real. Acknowledge and reverse Junior Doctors’s pay erosion

#JuniorDoctorsStrikes

Fran Hunter (Denham) Steve Barclay Rishi Sunak Thank you for supporting Junior Drs and the NHS . Steve Barclay Rishi Sunak can solve this easily . Just pay them a fair wage #JuniorDoctorsStrikes

Steve Barclay The BMA Junior Doctors You can talk about it being 'fair&reasonable' all you like, but the market dictates otherwise. Surely, as a Tory, you understand the concept of the free market? You do realise an NHS with no staff will not function? #JuniorDoctorsStrikes

Critics of striking medics argue that everyone is suffering at the moment. But doctors & nurses have had it worse.

Recent inflation has taken the average UK worker’s real wages 2.5% below their 2009 level, but earnings are down 13% for nurses and 24% (!) for junior doctors.
